It sounds like you're at relatively high speeds going into neutral. If you want to save clutch wear, don't downshift if you know you're eventually coming to a stop, and then go to neutral around the 20-15mph mark. You lose a lot of potential vehicle control while at neutral at higher speeds.
At least, this is the advice I was given from experienced drivers when I was taught manual. There really is no favorable reason to go neutral from high gear. Well, not to my knowledge anyway.
